There are countless varieties of humulus lupulus and many are specific to a country, continent or hemisphere. There are also
new varieties being created at a rapid pace. These new varieties are more disease resistant, higher yielding and geared toward the
large industrial brewers. There will always be a place for the organic grower of fine hops and that is what hopsfromvirginia.com is
all about.
The varieties of hops were selected to have a blend of high and low alpha acid contents and to include some noble hops as well. Of course,
the bulk of the hop varieties are U.S. in origin, with a few important selections from overseas. There is also some interest in
acquiring a few varieties from the land down under...Australia/New Zealand.
